For scheduling transmissions of data channels, control channels, or random access channels using downlink control information (DCI) formats, a DCI format can configure a transmission of one or multiple data channels over respective one or multiple transmission time intervals. A first DCI format can configure the parameters for a channel transmission and a second DCI format can trigger the channel transmission and indicate respective one or more transmission time intervals.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The UE of claim 1, wherein the DCI format includes a field that indicates the second HARQ-ACK information bits associated with the second PDSCHs.
4. The UE of claim 1, wherein the transceiver is further configured to jointly encode the first HARQ-ACK information bits and the second HARQ-ACK information bits.
6. The UE of claim 5, wherein the second transmission time starts before the first transmission time.
9. The base station of claim 8, wherein the DCI format includes a field that indicates the second HARQ-ACK information bits associated with the second PDSCHs.
11. The base station of claim 8, wherein the transceiver is further configured to jointly decode the first HARQ-ACK information bits and the second HARQ-ACK information bits.
13. The base station of claim 12, wherein the second reception time starts before the first reception time.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the DCI format includes a field that indicates the second HARQ-ACK information bits associated with the second PDSCHs.
17. The method of claim 14, further comprising encoding jointly the first HARQ-ACK information bits and the second HARQ-ACK information bits.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the second transmission time starts before the first transmission time.
